I had bought ever ArmA release in the first week of release until Arrowhead. I enjoyed the games but I always felt they were a bit un-optimised. I started off in 'fps' with Operation Flashpoint so I suppose I have a love for the engine.
I got Arrow Head when there was a deal on and I must say it felt a lot better than ArmA I and II Vanilla. The added bits such as IR just made it feel a lot more fun.
I think they need to sort out the clunkyness of the menu's. Using [, ] and enter is all well and good when flying and putting your flaps up or something but doing anything else just feels awkward. They could do with adding a 'commo rose'/Nano suit menu where you press a key down then use your mouse to select what you want to do.
The servers need to be a bit more inviting to join also. It's all exactly the same as Flashpoint Resistance still. They need to redo the whole server finder so it feels like it is just a quick gateway into a game and not some tedious menu based of Gamespy code from a decade ago.
The final thing looks like it has been implemented. I don't know java myself but it looks like they may be using that instead of sqf/sqs which will give the community a much larger pool of people who can contribute to scripting stuff. There have been some very good scripts over the years that have never really been developed far as there are very few who come up with them and they never continue on with constant development.
Well anyway there is my 2p worth.
